      After a $125m donation shortfall, monthly food vouchers were cut from $12 to $10 per person, said the World Food Programme.

Demonstrators outside the salon chanted, “shame, shame” — but did not try to force their way inside. Hundreds of police were sent to the scene and eventually escorted her into a limousine. © Provided by…
